National Extension College Avis 

Superb organisation from signing up to getting results. High quality resources with well linked assignments - I have done distance learning where assignments and materials bear little in common . Rapid , quality feedback from tutors. Good grade at end of course .

This was my first distanced learning course and I would use them again or recommend.

Firstly, the online NEC platform is clear and uncomplicated and keeps your interest, you can keep a blog of your own learning diary and liase with fellow students. This is optional, I did use it and when I asked any questions which I needed support with I got replies usually the same day.

My tutor was of a very high level and she supported me throughout, even with small areas of concern.

As for the modules, I chose to print out each one (only because I can only stare at a screen for so long) and they are easy to follow with excellent web links for online knowledge and tutoring. Also new words were easily remembered by the end of topic glossary at the back of each module.

If you want to really understand your subject, even from scratch, this online learning is for you, superb.

I started my iGCSE biology with hardly any knowledge of the subject. I expected to study for 18 months as I am At university as well and work full time. I was entered at an NEC exam centre and because of covid this year decided on an assessment grade. The college kept me informed every step of the way as and when government decisions were being made.

NEC is a very organised and professional educational provider, even with the covid curve ball I received an 8 grade. It has given me confidence to study again with NEC as I know I will be fully supported, no matter what the future holds.

There are cheaper providers, but not sure if I would have the same assurance, study format or support. So important.

I am happy with the course so far and the content of the course. I have submitted an assignment and found the process easy and convenient to submit. I sometimes wonder how I'm doing and would like some more feedback or encouragement from my tutor but otherwise great!!

I'm glad I studied for my iGCSE Biology with NEC. From the comprehensive course notes to the interaction with my tutor, it has been a positive experience.

Excellent distance learning college with very good learning materials that are clear, concise and a pleasure to use. All the support from NEC is of a high standard and the tutors are very good at responding to queries. I would recommend this college for all aspiring candidates who want to further their education

The subject matter is very well laid out, simple and self-explanatory.
Tutor's marking of assignment is quick and prompt.
i am satisfied.

NEC is a great system for online learning, it gives you a detailed knowledge on your chosen subject. My only request is that there was more contact with your tutors and that they kept asking for updates to keep us motivated to work.

Great, no problems and teacher’s feedbacks are massively helpful

I’m studying an A Level with NEC for my own interest and I’m finding the materials, the support, the forums, and the overall site, of a very high standard. The teaching blocks are well produced with lots of activities and guided learning and there’s ancillary information if you want to take topics further. I am very satisfied.

I had an amazing experience with this provider. Supported with a personal tutor, swift feedback, excellent resources. Massively recommend. I'm now studying the university course that will hopefully lead to my dream career.

Great experience. Good tutors, quality content and course, with quality assignments.

As a mature student I took 2 GCSE's - Maths and Astronomy. I found the course material in depth and well written and my tutors were knowledgeable and helpful. It was a very positive experience all round and I would happily do another course with them.

Really pleased so far! The A level History of Art course is a delight to go through and has encouraged me to research around the topics as I go. Great student support and amazing materials.

I only have good things to say about the NEC - the history a level course is great, the website is easy to use and my tutor is so helpful. Everyone I have been in contact with or have asked for help has responded really quickly and has done their utmost to help me. The course gives me just the right amount of flexibility whilst having some structure. I would recommend the NEC to anyone, it is amazing and great value. So glad I took the chance and enrolled!

I don't know what this is meant to be about. If it is enrolment and ability to access the website - that was OK. But the site itself is difficult to navigate. My first frustration being an inability to access what I take to be a proforma for Assignment 1 (ie the profile of me added to my study plan) I have not bothered, simply writing an email containing my profile to my tutor which he seems to have found acceptable in spite of my omitting my study plan.It isn't a good start.

NEC offices are very helpful however their courses are clearly not fit for purpose. Having paid thousands of pounds for 8 GCSEs our daughter - who was on course to get at least grade 7 for all her subjects when she left school because of anxiety just over a year ago - has achieved three passes and 3 fails. She is absolutely devastated and can’t progress to sixth form. Please think twice before using these people.

New student experience.
I am only a few weeks into my ALevel, as a mature student, and so far the experience has all been positive.
Communication with my tutor has surpassed my expectations and I am looking forward to the rest of the course.

Once you get used to the style of the online courses, it's an absolute breeze to complete the course. Research facilities are excellent and information is completely correct. This enables you to think in a specfic way and complete assignments in a full manner.
I will be doing more courses once I've finished the Art History course

I have used NEC before but was not able to complete the course. It was not an exam course. NEC have enanled me to return and complete at a lower fee. Very enjoyable course and thanks to them
